DIY Kid’s Room Canvases – Using Duck Cloth

Duck Cloth and Artist Canvases

I have a nice and easy project for you – using (aff link) duck cloth canvas material, wood letters and artists canvases from (aff link) Hobby Lobby. Here is a coupon for you if you plan to shop there for your supplies (just click the coupon banner below and then look for "get coupon" in the right hand corner of the (aff link) Hobby Lobby web page):

Make sure as you staple that it is smooth and straight on the front. If you get a geeky staple, just use a butter knife to pry it out and start over. Use pliers if need be.

You could paint a layer of (aff link) Mod Podge over the duck cloth if you want to coat it, but we didn't. When I covered desk drawers for my fab furniture flippin' contest, I (aff link) Mod Podged to help keep them clean from finger prints and the like.

STEP #5

Katie added some bling to the front – the kids' initials and a flower for her baby girl. Get creative with yours – personalizing your project is the best part of DIY.

It took just a few minutes and was super easy.

Don't be afraid to experiment. What's the worst that can happen? So you mess up your fabric and have to buy more. It used to freak me out to cut material, especially if it was expensive.

Fabrifobia

Ha! When I was a teen I got a job at Sears and was a floater for one of my first assignments. I would go relieve co-workers for breaks and when I had to relieve the lady in fabrics I told her I wouldn't cut fabric so she'd better be back before a customer came.

Here I am in my 50's and still afraid of that first cut! I hate wasting money and a cut is forever. I think that is called fabrifobia.

These would make great new baby or Christmas gifts. I'm thinking I might make it my plan to DIY ALL of my Christmas gifts next year.

Have you DIY'd any gifts for family and friends this year?

Maybe this year you will want to experiment with chalky paint? I know I will be. If you are interested, here is a listing for 4 Homemade Chalky Recipes – just click the picture below:
